How can sensitive ingredients be gently pumped in the production of pharmaceuticals?

Premium solutions for sensitive products - HYGHSPIN stainless steel twin screw pumps. When used in the pharmaceutical industry, this type of pump meets the highest demands in terms of hygiene and pumping characteristics - even when processing non-flowable media. The range of applications is very versatile. The pumps meet the highest hygiene standards. Components such as cell solutions, pectin, glucose, glycerine and even blood plasma can be pumped.

 

The following requirements, among others, are met:

What kind of medium can be pumped?

  • Raw materials
  • cell solutions
  • pectin
  • glucose
  • glycerine
  • Blood plasma

Application examples

Application rangeVolume flowPressure differenceProduct
Human blood proteins50 m³/h2 barHYGHSPIN 90
Enzymes120 m³/h6 barHYGHSPIN 125
Pectin2 m³/h3 barHYGHSPIN 50
cell solution2m³/h3 barHYGHSPIN 50

Benefits:

  • Very even and gentle pumping with low pumping speeds
  • High hygiene standard, pumps are CIP and SIP compatible, use as CIP feed pump
  • Static seals with vapor barrier possible
  • Reduced surface roughness < 0.4 µm
  • Extensive documentation, e.g. 3.1 material certificates, FDA and TES certificates for elastomers
  • High wear resistance, no entry of abrasion into the product

Other applications

Pet feed

Hygienic pumping of animal feed ingredients such as meat masses, glycerine, or enzymes.

Pharmaceutical industry

In the pharmaceutical industry, and particularly in the production of components for medicines or infusions, the highest levels of purity and hygiene are required. Hygienic screw pumps are used for pumping enzymes or plutplasma.

Cosmetics applications

Lotions, gels or exfoliating substances present pumps with major challenges. When pumping the solutions, they must not foam up or damage or destroy any components or solids being pumped.
